House is my husband’s name and been married for 27 yrs can I still get part of the value of the house from him?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
In Colorado the name on a deed to real estate does not control what happens in a divorce unless he owned the house before you were married. At the very least, the increase in value of the property during the marriage is marital property; in 27 years that is probably a substantial increase, but the existence of loans secured by the property will affect the real value subject to division in divorce. There are no simple, fixed rules for dividing marital property but from the minimal information you provided you should be able to expect some monetary compensation for your interest in the house.

What can I do with the evidence that will help me to prove this is not a suitable safe environment for my child when she is born?

Annette M Cox Sandoval
Answered by attorney Annette M Cox Sandoval (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cox Sandoval Law, PLLC
It does not matter if he was cheating. Arizona is a no fault state. While the new girlfriend may claim she will be the mother, the reality is that you will likely have to share joint custody with the Father. That means, you will have to make major educational and medical decisions together. If however you have written evidence from the girlfriend claiming she will be the "mom", then that could help to show that the Father has no intention of trying to coparent with you and provide evidence to support seeking sole legal custody of the child. The court will also determine what kind of visitation schedule should be followed; nursing can be a factor to request adjusting the visitation but you could also be asked to pump. I would suggest talking to an attorney for more information.

Is it a ground for divorce if a couple does not have any sexual intercourse?

Cathy Rose Cook
Answered by attorney Cathy Rose Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Cathy R. Cook, Attorney at Law
Never having sexual intercourse in a marriage is a ground for annulment, which means the marriage would be voided as if it never existed. This would mean you would receive no property. Generally, an annulment request occurs early in a marriage so the lack of division of property is not relevant. You did not say how long you've been married.
